Shiro prepares to close the year with another WBC crown defense

On December 23 at the Yokohama Arena in Kanagawa, Japan, the World Boxing Council’s light flyweight  champion Ken Shiro (16-0, 9 KOs) will defend his title against the IBF champion, Nicaraguan Felix Alvarado (35 – 2, 30 knockouts).

Shiro had stated his desire to unify the division to prove he`s  the best in the world, and now he will have the chance against Alvarado.

This will be Alvarado’s second successive fight against a Japanese fighter, after defeating  Reiya Konishi.

Ken is having a great training camp and pledges he`ll be one hundred and ten percent ready to take on his fellow champion, two days before Christmas.
